Families of IDF observers killed at the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7 have written to IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, demanding the right to view the footage and audio recordings from the last day of their daughters' lives, according to Arutz 7.

“As long as the transfer of the above documentation to my clients does not harm the security of the state, there is no good reason to continue to keep it from my clients. Second, only through the requested documentation will my clients receive answers to their unanswered questions,” the bereaved parents' attorney wrote to Halevi.

The attorney further emphasized, "The recordings and videos of my clients' daughters are important on various levels. This would have the effect of allowing my clients a little closure when they have the documentation of the last shift before their daughters were murdered."

The families stated that they would petition the Israeli Supreme Court to compel the IDF to provide the recordings if Halevi does not comply within the next 21 days.
